End of Summer Fun!

Well unfourtnately its that time again- Summer Vacation is OVER and school is starting back- I love the feeling of a new beginning, but I am dreading going back more than ever this year- I have enjoyed staying home- going to the beach- swimming in the pool and just hanging out in general- We have tried to do a few "touristy" things the last couple of weekends before we go back.

First we went to the ever popular "Build-a-Bear" they are running a special for the month of August- Any bear-any hanging outfit- and any pair of shoes for $30- That is a GREAT deal- so we took Teagan to build her a bear. She decided on the way that she was going to name her bear "Patch"- who knows why or where she got that name- but "Patch" is was going to be.

It didnt take her long to pick out the animal she wanted to build- now it turns out that Patch is not a bear- he is a dog- and of course she picked out the strangest looking dog they had.

Here she is giving Patch to the lady to stuff...

After you stuff him, you have to take him to the tub and wash and brush your pet- This was lots of fun- Teagan made sure that Patch was really clean and fluffy.

Here is Noah wondering when he is going to have his turn at building a bear...

And after looking around the store at all of the outfits- Teagan decided that Patch was definantly princess material- so of course she should dress like a princess- Princess Aurora for that matter- so Princess Patch Aurora it is. And here she is all dressed up and ready to be named. This weeked we had another grand adventure- we went to Freestyle Music Park... Oh Boy what lots of fun we had at Freestyle- They had lots of rides for Maggie and Teagan to rides- and an awesome fireworks show at the end of the night- The Time Machine Roller Coaster was the best - we got to visit the 80's and the 90's for some retro music- we rode and sang the whole ride.

Teagan and Maggie rode all of the spinning rides from the Fairie Boats to the Crazy Taxi Cars. Noah even got in on the action- Maggie took him for a ride on the Merry-Go-Round. Then we headed over to the part of the park called "Kids in America" . Teagan had a great time riding the hang gliders, and pedal planes, bouncy dune buggies, and big rig trucks. All in all we had a great time at Freestyle- we cant wait to go back-

...Wonder what next weekend will bring???
